SAID Chino from Tanzania cannot be crowned WBO Global Super Bantamweight Champion, even though he defeats Philipus “Energy” Nghitumbwa at Helao Nafidi Saturday after the challenger failed make the weight.<\/b><\/p>\n
Nghitumbwa (15-1), comfortably weighed 54,80kg. Chino (18-8-2), however, tipped at 57.50kg. This is well over the 55.34kg limit.<\/p>\n
This means that the final continental title clash of MTC Sunshine Together As One VI bonanza is now a regular international bout.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fight will go on, but if Chino wins, he will not get the belt and the title will become vacant. But he will get a rating,\u201d says Janine van Wyk from the Namibia Boxing Control Board.<\/p>\n
The bill’s remainder was unaffected by such concerns, and all title fights were conducted as advertised.<\/p>\n
The first African title fight will be at 21h30. Charles Shinima (13-0), defends the WBO Africa welterweight title, against Mziwoxolo Nedwayana (19-6-1), South Africa. This fight will last 10 rounds.<\/p>\n
The second continental title fight is scheduled at 22h10, when Jon Jon Ndjolonimus (13-0), defends his WBO Africa super-middleweight title against Erick Timanga (9-0), of the DRC. It will last 12 rounds.<\/p>\n
Nestor Tobias, the promoter, said that the 13-fight bill will include three international title bouts and two national titles fights.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have arrived as we promised. Namibia has achieved history with the line-up of three international titles fights and two nation title fights on the one card. We want Namibia to continue to have all the international champions in their fights. It will be a good night for boxing,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
In the fight for national supremacy Bernard Bernard (6-0), takes on Emmanuel Mungandjela (16-3-1), for the national welterweight title. Elson Kalu (3-1-1) and Paulus Amavila (8-1-1) are fighting for the junior welterweight belt.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
